LabView DAQ Assistant, acquire at 1kHz but save at 1Hz ??

Well, is there a way to average it?  Say, take every 10 points and average them into 1?

You will definitely want to break up your acquisition and processing into multiple loops using a Producer/Consumer setup.  In the acquisition loop, read as many samples as you would like to average over in a single read and write that data into a queue.  Your processing loop will then read the queue, perform the average, and log the data.

I'll give that a shot.  Have no idea of how to do that programming but I am here to learn!

In the mean time just to show that I'm not crazy, sitting right next to my computer is a Fluke 289 DVM and we have a couple Graphtec GL240's.  The Fluke runs at 10Hz but can be programmed to save data once a second up to once an hour without effecting the display, the GL240 is the same way.  In many ways all I'm doing is recreating what the GL240 can already do.  Once I get to that point then I'll get into controlling relays with LabView based off of a Tc or VDC reading - which is actually why I'm even getting into LabView.
